Why no naval combat?

Re: Why no naval combat?

Yeap. We just need a little more JO:TR quality in BF2. Man, JO:TR was great until BF2 came along, but I still miss good old JO:TR.

Re: Why no naval combat?

There really hasn't been a lot of "shelling the beaches" going on since WWII.

Actually, the USS Missouri (Iowa-class battleship, WWII vintage) was used in actual combat all the way up to Desert Storm. It was refitted with cruise missiles, but actually shelled targets with its 16" guns from time to time.

Oh yeah. And the reason why they haven't put subs on: me. I would totally pwn everything

In reality, I'd really like to see naval units in the game (BF2). I can't tell you the numerous hours of bliss I had on the subs and battleships of '42.
Granted there are reasons why this would not be practical, namely:
-Cruise missiles launched via submarine would complete own everything and have an absolute minimum chance of counterstrike.
-Exception to above: if the opposition had something similar to the Aegis anti-missile system and dipping-sonar capable helicopters.
-Surface ship launched cruise missiles would completely own everything and have a minimal chance of suffering a counterstrike.
-Exception to above: the Harpoon. Pure and simple.

...wait.

Re: Why no naval combat?

Do you know of any mods that plan on this feature?

I'm following Shattered Faith most of all and it's not really real world so...

Nope. Im almost 100 % you wont see this anywhere in this game. It wasn't in the inital game so yeah. Im justing saying the closest thing to get a naval ship war or whatever is make a mod, eg edit the transport ships, even then its still hard.

The only mod with a remote chance of some kind of Naval combat is Forgotten Hope. A WWII realism mod.

As the others have said before, the physics in the game can't handle it, that is why they had to pull the LCAC from the game.

That's true. I've seen people try to play "Pirates" with 'em. That's always funny and a sure sign that something is a naval vessel (reference to the piracy that occured in BF1942).
